Description:
Released on Mo Do Records out of Buffalo, New York, “You Gave Me Love” and “Your Name” are tender slices of late-’60s deep soul recorded by teenage duo Bob & Gene (Bob Nunn and Gene Coplin). The songs were produced by William Nunn Sr., capturing a warm, homemade soul sound that would later gain cult status among collectors of rare Northern and deep soul.

“You Gave Me Love” features heartfelt harmonies and a smooth rhythm section steeped in the influence of Curtis Mayfield and The Impressions, while “Your Name” slows the tempo into a pleading ballad filled with youthful sincerity.

Rediscovered decades later and reissued by Daptone Records, the single has become a gem among soul aficionados — prized for its authenticity, organic charm, and the emotional delivery of two teenage singers who captured the pure essence of late-’60s soul without big-label polish.
